Structure and Function of Desmosomes Medical Definition of D-dimer. D-dimer: A fragment produced during the degradation of a clot. The D here stands for domain. Dimer indicates two identical units, in this case two identical domains. D-dimer result from complete breakdown of the clot. Monoclonal antibody to the D-dimer fragment provide the basis for the main methods of detecting it.

Lysozyme dimer association: Similarities and differences compared with lysozyme monomer association When the dimers originally in the lysozyme solution have a particular conformation and bond between molecules, their association differs from that of monomers. However, dimer association process has not been reported.easurements of TR-SLS and dynamic light scattering for a lysozyme dimer solution showed that the association behavior is affected by the purity of the dimer solution. Chromatography and SDS–PAGE analysis showed two types of dimers, strong-and weak-bonded molecules, in a dimer unit.

It is so named because it contains two D fragments of the fibrin protein joined by a cross-link.
